Based on transducer status input signals indicative of whether headphones housing respective transducers are engaged with ears of a listener, a processing circuit may determine whether the headphones are engaged with respective ears of the listener. Responsive to determining that at least one of the headphones is not engaged with its respective ear, the processing circuit may modify at least one of a first output signal to the first transducer and a second output signal to the second transducer such that at least one of the first output signal and the second output signal is different than such signal would be if the headphones were engaged with their respective ears.
